I'm just saying, my observation has been that a system where "Higher level player killing your mob = lower exp for you" does kind of impact the ability to effectively PL.
Even in those systems (which FFXI had for most of its existence and still *technically* has) powerleveling is usually possible by some means, such as having an outside healer, or taking advantage of other mechanics.
